Unlike per-language translation, this translation process is not reversible in the Panel and is handled server-side. Use it with caution, as it may take a while to translate all content. When the button is clicked, a confirmation dialog is displayed to prevent accidental batch translation.

If this new feature breaks your workflow, you can disable it by setting batch: false in the plugin configuration.

When disabled, the section will look the same as in v2.2.0 and earlier versions:
